Why My Nursery Décor Is Different
In a world filled with mass-produced designs and digital clip-art, it is easy for nursery decorations to begin to look the same. My work follows a quieter and more traditional path.
Every design in this nursery décor collection begins as one of my own hand-drawn illustrations. From farm animals and woodland creatures to fairytale scenes and gentle seaside themes, each character is first sketched and painted by hand in watercolour in my Devon studio. These are not stock images or licensed graphics, but original artwork created especially for my collections.
Original Illustrated Nursery Décor
Original Illustrations
Every design begins as one of my own hand-drawn illustrations. Each character, animal and scene is first sketched and painted by hand in watercolour.
Not Clip Art or Stock Images
These nursery designs are not made from digital graphics or purchased artwork. They come entirely from my own original paintings, giving each piece a distinctive character.
Traditional Hand-Drawn Style
Soft watercolour, gentle lines and carefully observed details give the illustrations a timeless feel — the sort of artwork that belongs naturally in a child’s room.
Created by an Independent Artist
All designs are created by illustrator Kate Garrett, working quietly in her Devon studio, where each collection begins as a real painting on paper.
Looking for ideas for a themed nursery?
Because the illustrations come from my own paintings, the designs share a warmth and personality that only hand-drawn artwork can bring. Small details, soft colours and expressive characters give each piece a sense of story — something a child can grow up with, rather than simply decorate a room for a short while.
The result is nursery décor that feels thoughtful, traditional and full of charm — pieces created from real artwork, designed to bring character and gentle imagination to a child’s room.
Whether you are decorating a nursery, searching for a bespoke luxury baby gift, or adding a meaningful finishing touch to a child’s room, these pieces are made to be treasured — not replaced.
What You’ll Find
Personalised Height Charts
Mark the passing years with illustrated height charts designed to become keepsakes. Printed with Kate’s original artwork and personalised with your child’s name, these charts turn everyday growth into a family record worth keeping.
Personalised Nursery Cushions
Soft, comforting and full of charm, our illustrated nursery cushions feature your child’s name alongside original artwork. Perfect for rocking chairs, reading corners or as a thoughtful personalised baby gift.
Illustrated Wall Decals
Transform nursery walls with gentle, removable wall decals that tell a story without overwhelming the space. Each design is created to sit softly within a room — a quiet companion rather than a bold statement.
Choose Your Illustrated Nursery Theme
Farm Nursery
Rooted in the rhythms of country life, the Baby Farmer theme celebrates tractors and friendly farm animals illustrated with warmth and familiarity. These designs suit nurseries inspired by rural living and traditional childhoods, bringing a sense of open fields and fresh air indoors. A comforting choice for families who love the countryside and timeless farmyard stories.
Jungle Nursery
The Baby Jungle collection introduces little ones to a world of friendly animals and leafy canopies, illustrated in soft, harmonious tones. Lions, elephants and monkeys appear with character but never overwhelm, allowing the nursery to feel lively yet restful. This theme is ideal for parents who love colour and curiosity, offering a sense of adventure while remaining gentle enough for early years.
Woodland Nursery
The Little Woodland Animals theme draws on Kate’s much-loved woodland illustrations — foxes, rabbits, deer and hedgehogs, each painted with care and character. This collection is calm, natural and enduring, working beautifully in both modern and traditional nurseries. With its earthy palette and gentle charm, it is a popular choice for those seeking personalised nursery décor that will grow gracefully with a child.
Under the Sea Nursery
Calm and flowing, the Under the Sea theme features softly illustrated sea creatures drifting through gentle blues and watery tones. Designed to create a soothing atmosphere, these designs are especially suited to peaceful nurseries and bedtime spaces. A quiet celebration of the natural world beneath the waves.
Fairy Tale Nursery
Delicate and timeless, Fairies & Flowers is inspired by classic children’s book illustrations and traditional nursery art. Flowing florals, soft wings and whimsical details create a dreamlike atmosphere, perfect for nurseries that favour romance and storytelling. Personalised details are woven seamlessly into the design, making each piece feel like a page from a treasured storybook.

Shop Nursery Decor
All themes are created from Kate Garrett’s original illustrations, drawn and painted by hand in her Devon studio before becoming part of the nursery décor collection.
Can I personalise my baby gift?
Yes. Many of my pieces can include:
Baby’s name
Date of birth
Weight and time of arrival
Family details
Special places or meaningful touches
If you are looking for something entirely bespoke, I also create fully customised name paintings incorporating pets, homes, wildlife, or favourite themes.
What makes your baby gifts “luxury”?
Luxury, to me, means craftsmanship, quality materials, and lasting sentiment. I use professional-grade papers, archival inks, solid wood frames, and fine printing methods. Most importantly, each piece is made slowly and thoughtfully — designed to become an heirloom rather than a passing trend.
Are your baby gifts truly handmade in the UK?
Yes. Every original artwork begins as a hand-painted watercolour in my Devon studio. I do not use stock illustrations or digital clip art — each design is drawn and painted by hand before being carefully printed or personalised. My work is proudly created in the UK.
Are your nursery decorations safe for babies?
All printed items are produced using high-quality, child-safe materials. Wall decals and prints are designed for nursery interiors, and frames are sturdy and carefully finished.
Do you create bespoke baby gifts to order?
I do. My bespoke name paintings are created individually for each family. You can request particular animals, colours, nursery themes, or personal details. Each painting is composed especially for you — no two are ever the same.
